drumsAbout
Azerbaijan-born composer and pianist Amina Figarova has risen from her upbringing behind the Iron Curtain to the top of the jazz scene. From her early classical training, Figarova made her way to Boston’s Berklee College of Music via Rotterdam where she began devoting her passions to jazz. Her most recent recording, Blue Whisper, is her 13th album since 1994 and features a classically-founded touch, lilting melodies, luminous harmonies, and understated yet propulsive rhythms. Figarova’s superb Sextet debuts at the Bach in what should be an unforgettable show.
